Donate: Maine Human Trafficking Survivor Fund

Victims of trafficking and commercial sex exploitation experience an almost total loss of financial, educational, physical, and emotional autonomy. Individuals engaged in trafficking are treated as a commodity or property, and are often reliant on a pimp, an employer, or an intimate partner to meet their basic needs. They may have limited or no access to the money that they earn; as a result, their ability to forge an independent, safe, and self-reliant life is severely undermined. Maine currently has limited specialized resources to meet these needs.

The Maine Human Trafficking Survivor Fund aims to fill that gap. The Fund is a flexible, accessible, and timely source of funds to support the immediate needs of victims of trafficking as they seek to increase their safety and start a new life. 

Direct service providers and law enforcement officers from across Maine can apply to access these funds on behalf of individuals who have a demonstrated need and who are victims of sex trafficking, labor trafficking or commercial sex exploitation. Contact us for more information.
